That's nice that Paul helped his brother James get their Dad's old Suzuki/Toyota car engine fixed and running. Jace got his dirt bike fixed and running. Now Lando's bike is getting repaired. Looking good!
Hunter, you will go a long way with your questioning attitude! Michelle, I love your captions! Paul, you are the Paul of all trades, I'm amazed at the scope of your skills.
paul can thank his dad for the majority of that knowledge, it proves what good parenting can do for a kid, and we all get to watch it unfold, pretty amazing, special thanks to pauls dad for being there when it mattered
The exhaust studs on those engines were always a problem! I ended up helicoiling at least half of them on mine. Other than that, those old 22r engines were awesome!
Yes Paul is a problem Solver. Dam good machinist. He just doesn't want peoples hopes too high. 😆. He knows what he's doing. Paul just won't tell. Great video.
Paul, your vast knowledge amazes me. Jeep, Toyota, Chevy, Ford, motorcycles, etc, etc, etc. Watching your channel we as viewers never know what we are going to see next and that makes it all the more interesting. Keep up the awesome content!!
I took my Prom Date to our dance in 2005 in a 1984 Toyota 4runner with the 22r in it. On the way home she overheated and warped the head. Never will forget that!
Paul, you Matt, Robby and Merlin are like friends to me. I feel like I could walk up and you would say, Hi Mike! Love all you guys and the work you put into your projects. Was just on Robby's channel and he called you about a back axel. I am retired (3 days now) I would like to come see you all for no more than a minute as I know you are busy. I am sure 100,s of people "bother" you but would like the opportunity to just stop in and say HI!
One of the things I like about this channel is running into real situations and having to solve them in real ways. Like having to find longer bolts for a surprise head, needing to helicoil the exhoust manifold bolt holes to get a grip. It's easy to get new parts from new boxes and bolt it all together. Real skill is knowing how to work on used stuff and solve problems. Databyter
This reminds me of growing up. I have two brother in laws that were kind of like Paul. My job was always holding the light. Learned a lot from those guys. Number one thing I learned was to hold the light where they could see. Lol.
Great watching you and your family. I think, "What if everybody just decided to work with their family and fix stuff in their home shop?" And then I reply, "Yeah. What if everybody did? World might be a better place."
Yup, some of us had that family -- sometimes it doesn't hold together: I'm amazed not at the working together but at the longevity of that collaboration. My grandma specifically raised me and my cousin from a young age to work together and not fall apart like her brothers. It didn't work, grandma passed on and within a year or two, haven't spoken since our early 20s.
Hell, I just think. What if everytime you got out of bed. Everyday, you did something nice for somebody. Anything, you know hold the door for someone struggling. Anything. How much would that help.
I hear you but who is going to make things? Grow things? Sell things? Put out the fires? Perform surgery? Build your house? Grow your food? Deliver your orders? Make the welder to fix things? Make the car you are fixing? Cheers!
@@BitBuhkit if you have been watching Paul long enough then you know that he was on a payroll! Worked his job all day then half the night and weekends in the shop making videos. He didn't start out supporting his family just doing what he does now. He has grown to what he is doing with his wife's help and teaching his children along the way! I'm not disagreeing with you I'm saying many people have a good job and a side hustle. At some point they might make a decision to only do what makes them happier. I did! I guess you could call it a career change. There is always a replacement for the job you left. There is only two things on your list I have not done.
@@donlarsen9807 I have seen every video. You clearly missed the point! Re-read, I simply stated if EVERYBODY (as said by op) did what the op suggested, the world wouldn't work for anybody. Cheers!
Man I raced hare scrambles on a 1992 cr250 back in the day. That bike was a monster. That era of Hondas rocked. Ran that bike for 4 years then switched to a 97 KTM 300.
when you machine a warped overhead cam head, you are straightening the mating surface while the cam journals are out of alignment. The cam journals have to be line bored to save it.
Paul, this just shows that it's all about family! Nice change of pace with a peak into what is really important. Was a little disappointed that Grandma was not around to make an appearance! Love the fact that the boys are learning by the old hands on method. Where would you be if you never stepped into the machine shop when you were a teenager? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe healthy and happy 👍
I had a 22R-E in my '85 Toyota pickup. First year of fuel injection, last year of solid axle front end. The box disappeared before my eyes with that truck, ontario road salt. 40 years old that motor, probably plenty of life in it yet.
My passion for mechanics/fixing things started at a young age when my uncle got me a junk 79 yz125. He said if you wanna ride it, you'll learn how to fix it. He handed me a Clymer repair manual, said to let him know what I needed, and he'd go buy it.
Paul you say you aren't a mechanic but in my opinion you seem to be a master at being a jack of all trades. One of the reasons I love this channel is because of the fabrication and mechanical stuff. I am not a mechanic but I enjoy watching stuff like that.
How many siblings does Paul have??? We need a 2023 family and staff update video for you and Matt's channel and closely related channels to connect all the dots to keep up with everyone. Don't need a deep dive or anything too personal, just a quick whose who we aren't all so lost. But otherwise keep up the great videos!!!!!
Level on the mill means nothing if the head of the mill is misaligned or the bed of the machine isn't level. The right way to check all that out is to sweep or tram over the deck with an indicator mounted on the head and then also put an indicator out on the tool arm and rotate the spindle over the same reference surface to indicate it. That will tell you everything about the mill's condition and also how closely you managed to align your part you want to machine. Lots of youtube videos on it. It's always good to have a good travel indicator and a good test indicator on hand.
Just think of all the money saved with all these different repairs. Great job Paul, the man with many talents! Great dad, with a great shop fixing what needs to be fixed 🤙😎
Well dang, if I had your nice shop I could do that too ... well, and also your skills, experience, creativity, fearlessness and ability to think outside a very big box :) You never seem to get into a project (or a problem) you can't think yourself out of. Great stuff as always!
I remember elk hunting in the old Sami with your dad. We went up a muddy hill and your dad kept the pedal to the metal. All Paul said was “my dad is not afraid of RPM”
I'm working on my Toyota when I can. Pulling it apart now to get ready for bodywork and paint. Then interior stuff. Replacing missing or old parts. Then putting the motor and transmission transfercase in.
love seeing the older Samurais saved! my best friend had a mid 80s one I used to crawl around woods in, had so much fun in that thing, it was clean as hell too! I should've bought it when he got rid of it! I like the idea of the Toyota Engine and running gear etc.
The 22R and its fuel-injected upgrade, the 22RE, are legendary for their long life and reliability. They will easily last 300,000 miles without a rebuild if you keep changing the oil as needed and replace the timing chain every 150,000 miles or so. Keep in mind that the 22R only produces about 100 horsepower.
It's funny you said your welder but do mechanical stuff to. I was in military as welder but in my shop I was doing mechanical stuff better than the guys that went to school for mechanic, as a welder you need to now how things go together and come apart to do the welding Repair, so AWSOME job. . I held three military military jobs, welder 91E,truck driver 88M and infantry man 11B. Nice being jack of all trades, congrats on having all that knowledge
For the first time on any video I have seen on TH-cam I truly enjoyed the montage music during the tear down. What was the name of it? I truly enjoy your videos, Merlin's, Robby's, and that guy who is on episode 12,496 of this Frankenstein lemon yellow thing he is calling a wrecker that he is just doing completely wrong.... he can't weld, can't engineer, couldn't use a can of WD40 without getting it in someone's eyes.. no seriously, I enjoy Matt as well. It's good to see just regular old hard working people doing what they love. If I lived in the Beehive State I would be hanging out with you all standing there in the way maybe even holding the flashlight once and a while. I'm in a transition part of my life, I have lost everything and am in very poor health. I guess it was easier for her to walk away than dealing with me and my crap. So thank you Fab Rats for giving me a bit of a getaway for a few minutes every week. I truly appreciate that. ~ Timmy Basin Wyoming
Got a 22r with a head gasket problem on #3 that dumps coolent into the cylinder...been that way for 2 years....drive it every day...just bump the starter when you start it so you dont bend the rod. Tough motors....ill fix it sometime this summer. Btw...84 and older blocks/heads are different from 85 and newer....head and block hights are different....they dont swap.
I wished my Dad was as supportive of "the craziness" as you are to your kids Paul. They surely are blessed to have you. Good that they are also learning after you
I noticed (when his tow-bar dropped); you're grading the driveway! (or getting 200 tons of new gravel) 😀😀 @7:37... Landon's thinking: "Dang, I shoulda headed for Mexico!" 😁😁 @14:17... I totally LOL'd! 😄😄
I have a Honda SL125 k0 that I have totally rebuilt twice and setting up to rebuild again. When I was a teenager, rebuilding the engine was far cheaper than a new bike or paying somebody else to do it. Dad was a cop not a mechanic.
Back in the late 70s I had an old school Harley mechanic teach me how to lap valves in by hand using a suction cup and toothpaste, took forever and after i got it learned, then he showed me how to do it with actual valve grinding compound LOL
If a head is too warped, milling it down doesn’t fix it. If you bolted it back on the block you can strip out the Center bearing camp holes for the cam. If the head is that far out you can bolt it to a large block of steel and put it in a bake oven at 500 degrees let it get up to temp and then shut it down, leave it in till it is completely cooled.
It's great to see how a family that can work together stays together! Paul and James Sons look so much alike they could pass as brothers! Paul, Ben, and James are great role models for their family's! I love seeing family time on the Fab Rats channel, maybe next the whole family can be there and really make it a family affair with Mom's, and Dad's, Aunt's, and Uncle's, Niece's, and Nephew's Cousins, and of course Grandma's and Grandpa's! This would be a event to see. Til next time take care...
Those 22R motors are tanks. I hydro-locked one up once. I was young and dumb and thought I just killed the starter so I had a buddy tow me so I could bump-start it. It had a slight miss but it ran for several months before a rod finally shot through the side of the block. That explained why the points, distributor cap, and plug wires didn't fix the misfire. 🙄
Them ole 22R's are the best Toyota wngine made. You just cant hardly kill them! Head gaskets, and timing chains are pretty much the only thing that goes wrong!
Ha! The first (and ONLY) time I attempted an engine rebuild (car: 1960 Sunbeam Alpine) I had a few left-over parts, too! Unfortunately, I found out later they were for the oil pick up in the oil pan.
I want to see Fab Rats take a third gen Tacoma and swap in the engine and drivetrain out of a 5.7 Tundra. I had a third gen Tacoma because I was in love with the looks, but it was gutless, a total slug. Traded it in for a new Tundra and I love how much power it has. Can’t imagine how awesome it would be having a little truck with reliable V8 horsepower.
Paul with the bad 500😎 Landon be careful on that 250 i have a 95 cr250, the end of last August I went to install a new clutch cable that I had just bought installed and adjusted on my bike then took it for a test drive and I got the throttle cable pinched between the gas tank and frame when testing it on my track. I opened it up a little bit and it stuck wide open and over shot the jump snapping my tib fib creating a compound fracture… my toes were up to my knee. I almost bled out but I was luckily aromatic an hour away. It’s been 4 1/2 months. And after a skin graft and some metal plates put in my leg I am just now able to put weight on it and learn how to walk again. 10 years of working on bikes and thats all it takes… So be very very careful! Braaaaap
Hello Fab Rats, Paul you are amazing! And at 10:11 Bless You! Hope you, your family, friends, fans are well and happy! Take care, be safe, and peace out!
There's mechanics and then there's part changers. Paul may think he's just a welder but he's actually a master level problem solver
A genius!
I wish he was my neighbor. If I was his neighbor. He would have been tired of me wanting to be there and wanting to help.
I fit in the parts changer category. I am a problem solver, but definitely not a mechanic. I am much better with computers.
Because he does it twice :)
@@javabeanz8549 Everybody's got an important role to fill.
I knew a guy growing up that could fix any broken junk you brought him. Paul is definitely that guy.
It ain't fair, Paul makes it look so easy. And Hunter's getting an education
It actually IS easy, it is the learning how to, that is difficult. ;-)
Love seeing three generations with the same passion working together. With the same mindset. Keep it going!!!
That's nice that Paul helped his brother James get their Dad's old Suzuki/Toyota car engine fixed and running. Jace got his dirt bike fixed and running. Now Lando's bike is getting repaired. Looking good!
You are a jack-of-all-trades Paul.
But when your brother James honked the horn on his Samurai, the look on your face was awesome!
Everyone should have a brother like Paul.
I love how Paul, Ben and James work so well together. Missed Ben and their mom in this video. God bless ❤️🙏🙏👍👍❤️
You can throw cousin Merlin into that mix too. They also seem to just get 'er done.
OMG when James honked the horn that was hilarious. He just backed up out of Paul's reach
Yeah, but the one time you don't want to do that is when a project has a hiccup and you're not sure how bad it is yet.
I do that to my brother every time! 🤣
We love watching nice helping your brother we missed Ben and your mom love when she stops in
Always amazed by how willing you are to help, any time I need some faith in humanity restored I know where to go.
How are you doing Paul and the guys in the shop
Hunter, you will go a long way with your questioning attitude! Michelle, I love your captions! Paul, you are the Paul of all trades, I'm amazed at the scope of your skills.
Digging the new music for b-roll. Michelle’s editing skills are improving by the video.
It amazing how much Paul knows about engineering. A lifetime of on the job training and a master problem solver. Love today’s video 👍🏼
paul can thank his dad for the majority of that knowledge, it proves what good parenting can do for a kid, and we all get to watch it unfold, pretty amazing, special thanks to pauls dad for being there when it mattered
Paul you're a good father and brother and very talented👍with a wealth of knowledge
Sweet memories come to mind when seeing you wrench on projects you worked on with your dad.
The exhaust studs on those engines were always a problem! I ended up helicoiling at least half of them on mine.
Other than that, those old 22r engines were awesome!
First head gasket I ever did was a 22re. It took me two weeks because I was so nervous that I might screw it up. You guys had this done in a day.
Check the timing chain! They rub through the back of the water housing on the front cover. Lot easier to change that the head gasket
Merlin just taught you how to do that with 60 grit! 5:40
Yes Paul is a problem Solver. Dam good machinist. He just doesn't want peoples hopes too high. 😆. He knows what he's doing. Paul just won't tell. Great video.

Paul...a man that wears many hats...excellent work..
Your brother James gets the prize. He reminds me most of his Mom! 😊
I took my Prom Date to our dance in 2005 in a 1984 Toyota 4runner with the 22r in it. On the way home she overheated and warped the head. Never will forget that!
She sounds like a keeper
I am so easily confused, which overheated your date or the Toyota engine?🤔
Paul, you Matt, Robby and Merlin are like friends to me. I feel like I could walk up and you would say, Hi Mike! Love all you guys and the work you put into your projects.

Those little 22R engines are gold. Lots of memories of my lil toyota pick up truck
I'm ready to bring my vintage Toyota to you Paul. More fun than doing it alone.
Man I raced hare scrambles on a 1992 cr250 back in the day. That bike was a monster. That era of Hondas rocked. Ran that bike for 4 years then switched to a 97 KTM 300.

Where is Ben I miss him you guys do good work keep up the videos missing Ben
It was fantastic to watch everyone working together, and not getting in each other's way. We were amused at the horn beeping. 😂😂
I got your message and will try tomorrow.
The face on every one who's works on motor's when they start up are priceless im one of those guys
I had a 22R-E in my '85 Toyota pickup. First year of fuel injection, last year of solid axle front end. The box disappeared before my eyes with that truck, ontario road salt. 40 years old that motor, probably plenty of life in it yet.
What’s so cool about Paul is that he appeals to both kinds: The one who don’t know a 3/8 to a 3/4 drive, and the ones who build motors.
ZUUUUUKKK. They make me smile. You will have to do some dirt bike videos. I want to see that 500. It will be gnarly.
You should call the Suzuki "Frankenstein".
My passion for mechanics/fixing things started at a young age when my uncle got me a junk 79 yz125. He said if you wanna ride it, you'll learn how to fix it. He handed me a Clymer repair manual, said to let him know what I needed, and he'd go buy it.

Level on the mill means nothing if the head of the mill is misaligned or the bed of the machine isn't level.

I always feel better after watching you are truly one of the best people I’ve seen in quite awhile bless you and your family
I'm working on my Toyota when I can. Pulling it apart now to get ready for bodywork and paint. Then interior stuff. Replacing missing or old parts. Then putting the motor and transmission transfercase in.
Man it's great to see a guy have all the right tools in his garage and skillz in his head....
Do what I've done when I'm stuck, use a linisher with a really fine belt, it works in a pinch!
Hell yeah boys those KTM's are rippers! Let's see some footage of the boys out at sand hollow!
Those old 20R and 22R engines would run forever...
Paul, you’ve got a lathe! You can make a puller for that bike!
love seeing the older Samurais saved! my best friend had a mid 80s one I used to crawl around woods in, had so much fun in that thing, it was clean as hell too! I should've bought it when he got rid of it! I like the idea of the Toyota Engine and running gear etc.
Any news on the jet boat? Did the old owners take it or are you and your cousin going to hang on to it? It'll be a fun rehab project.
I can see now how you guys are so skilled, kids in at the deep end hands on, amazing. The right tools at hand make a big difference.👍👍
The 22R is a great engine, durable and easy to work on . Like the puller fix for the KTM . Thanks for the video

Poor mans mill table saw table glue sand paper to it then slowly run the head back and forth and in a x patterns works wonders
my 22r ran for six+ years with a bad head gasket, just leaking the other direction. truck really was teenager proof.
Super Dad award goes to Paul 🎊
Also cool brother award as well.
Thanks for sharing the projects.
One of the Best engines ever made the 22R
I like the tag team approach to motor deconstruction.

I can't tell if this is satire or not 🤔😂
Ha! The first (and ONLY) time I attempted an engine rebuild (car: 1960 Sunbeam Alpine) I had a few left-over parts, too! Unfortunately, I found out later they were for the oil pick up in the oil pan.
Hope Ben has been on a vacation. Wanna see that TJU finished and wheeled .
Dangggg how do you know all this😬 master professor. unbelievable👊🏻
I want to see Fab Rats take a third gen Tacoma and swap in the engine and drivetrain out of a 5.7 Tundra. I had a third gen Tacoma because I was in love with the looks, but it was gutless, a total slug. Traded it in for a new Tundra and I love how much power it has. Can’t imagine how awesome it would be having a little truck with reliable V8 horsepower.
Lol I like how big bro shows up and Ben doesn’t join 😅, I like that bike and im excited to see that Crf 450 i had yzf450 there pretty quick
I think 22or 20 r same head I had a 86 model good engine s
Paul with the bad 500😎 Landon be careful on that 250 i have a 95 cr250, the end of last August I went to install a new clutch cable that I had just bought installed and adjusted on my bike then took it for a test drive and I got the throttle cable pinched between the gas tank and frame when testing it on my track. I opened it up a little bit and it stuck wide open and over shot the jump snapping my tib fib creating a compound fracture… my toes were up to my knee. I almost bled out but I was luckily aromatic an hour away. It’s been 4 1/2 months. And after a skin graft and some metal plates put in my leg I am just now able to put weight on it and learn how to walk again. 10 years of working on bikes and thats all it takes… So be very very careful! Braaaaap
Back in the days I used to get some compound with a plunger and grind them valves manually 😂😂😂
Hello Fab Rats,
Paul you are amazing! And at 10:11 Bless You!
Hope you, your family, friends, fans are well and happy!
Take care, be safe, and peace out!
It's great to see these you men learning, a lot of knowledge being thrown around.
Great job 👏
